Montero gets Jeep headlights | Project "Vader's Chariot"
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Due to youknowwhat there was shortage of headlights and mine were all cracked. So decided to try installing the 7 inch round jeep headlights. There were only a couple of pics online of someone doing it, so a lot of it ended up being a bit of a puzzle to figure out.

I wonder how it would look with the cover back on uncut ? I know yours was cracked but I would rather see it fully covered Also another thought I bet these would be cool as rally lights on a bull bar in the center ! Might check that out for my 2001 montero

There is at least one example of that in the Montero 3rd gen FB group where a guy reused the lenses and epoxied the jeep lights to the housing. It looked pretty good. Another option I was considering was to get a piece of lexan or plexiglass (whatever is durable), and cut out a piece to cover up the center but havent had a need yet.
Those extra wires are for park lights, those Halo, it has lights in it...

I'd definitely love to figure out a way to make some kind of techno style rig/setup to be able to make custom headlights. A friend of mine almost had me hack up his tacoma headlights to do a similar conversion
Потрясающе! На Паджеро 2 такие были и выглядели особенным, это выглядит еще круче! Конечно под Русские зимы это нужно будет как-то адаптировать, герметизировать посадочное место самой фары. Может кольцо туда уплотнительное из твердого паралона Себе такие буду делать по-любому) Привет из России с любовью)

Если лензы без трещин то их можно прям назад поставить поверх фар. Или сделать из какого нибудь пластика панель чтобы закрыть фары. Или новые лензы купить. Они не дорогие - мне просто не надо было

screwed in and used some metal wire as well. Kind of janky but been a year and still is solid. In retrospect doing some epoxy mounts would've been a good idea.

How’d you get the headlight assemblies out? Did you have to remove the bumper and/or grill?
@LeoTheRussian
Жыл бұрын
If I remember correctly you have to take the grill out, but not the bumper. Headlights are held by 3 bolts total only. It's real easy. Hardest part is the grille with the flimsy clips on it.

@@SuperCoop yeah I'm on the fence either fix it up a bit more or get a lexus/Toyota platform and do similar thing.
Can you leave the lense on or does it get too hot in the housing? Is that the reason why you cut it off?
@LeoTheRussian
Жыл бұрын
Yeah you don't have to cut the lens at all. Just open it up, install the light and close back up. I've seen a couple done like that. In that case though I'd go with a different style retrofit that's specific to the Monty. Mine were cracked pretty badly so I just cut them off.
nice machine 🔥

Just the center. Rear can have an LSD as well however. 2003-2006 has amazing traction control that works extremely well and mimics front and rear lockers. Watch the video of Land Cruiser Vs Patrol Vs Montero - really shows how well the traction control works. 2001-2002 did not have that system however

Awesome vid dude. Thanks so much. 👌 Do you think this might have trouble when snowing? Being in Florida in sure you're not worried. But I run into snow about twice a year. Do you think snow would collect in light without lens? Either way super cool mod and video. Thanks again. 👍

Figure it should be ok considering you have spots in the lower and upper grille that are open year round. You could also get a small sheet of clear plexy or lexan type material and cut out covers that can be just easily screwed in the depression left in the stock black plastic housing.
The two wires you wondering about are for a ring shape bulbs , you have to connect them with a separate switch so you can open them at day time.
